Vite plugin for generating the Chrome DevTools project settings file on-the-fly in the devserver.
This enables seamless integration with the new Chrome DevTools features
npm install -D vite-plugin-devtools-json
Add it to your Vite config
import {defineConfig} from 'vite'; import devtoolsJson from 'vite-plugin-devtools-json'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ devtoolsJson(), // ... ] });
While the plugin can generate a UUID and save it in vite cache, you can also specify it in the options like in the following:
plugins: [
devtoolsJson({ uuid: "6ec0bd7f-11c0-43da-975e-2a8ad9ebae0b" }),
// ...
]
Name Type Default Description projectRoot
string
config.root
Absolute path that will be reported to DevTools. Useful for monorepos or when the Vite root is not the desired folder. normalizeForWindowsContainer
boolean
true
Convert Linux paths to UNC form so Chrome on Windows (WSL / Docker Desktop) can mount them (e.g. via WSL or Docker Desktop). Pass false
to disable.
normalizeForChrome
(deprecated)_ uuid
string
auto-generated Fixed UUID if you prefer to control it yourself.
Example with all options:
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'; import devtoolsJson from 'vite-plugin-devtools-json'; export default defineConfig({ plugins: [ devtoolsJson({ projectRoot: '/absolute/path/to/project', normalizeForWindowsContainer: true, uuid: '6ec0bd7f-11c0-43da-975e-2a8ad9ebae0b' }) ] });
The /.well-known/appspecific/com.chrome.devtools.json
endpoint will serve the project settings as JSON with the following structure
{ "workspace": { "root": "/path/to/project/root", "uuid": "6ec0bd7f-11c0-43da-975e-2a8ad9ebae0b" } }
where root
is the absolute path to your {projectRoot}
folder, and uuid
is a random v4 UUID, generated the first time that you start the Vite devserver with the plugin installed (it is henceforth cached in the Vite cache folder).
Checkout bmeurer/automatic-workspace-folders-vanilla for a trivial example project illustrating how to use the plugin in practice.
